From watching on tv: Doran White Welsh

Vincent in the cup final....

I watched it on tv with an excitable 7 year old who remembered us losing to them at home a few weeks back. I was worried at half time, as we were on top but had not managed to score, Chalmers coming closest, and the keeper saving Donaldson's header. Partick started the second half better, but what a goal: White's dummy was sublime, setting Doran up for a great goal! Shame we lost the equaliser, but Ridgers had no chance. I feared the worst, as earlier in the season we would have, at best, drawn, but what a winner. Dorian's lay off was incredible, only matched by Walsh's finish. Credit to all 13 who played, a great result, and they closed the game down very well to avoid the risk of a late equaliser. Ridgers was rarely troubled. McKay had a quiet game, although his poor touch put us in trouble early on. Tremarco was pushing forward as usual. Donaldson and McCart are a sound pairing. Trafford is transformed, but may drop out now Walsh is back. A tough call for Robbo whether he or Chalmers starts. Welsh had a good game, Chalmers was quieter although he nearly got an opener in the first half. Polworth had a couple of wayward efforts, but controlled the game when in mattered late on. Doran is back to his best. He was quite quiet early on, but a goal and an assist proves his worth. He is on song, and we are doing much better as a result. White terrorised the defence, and created the first goal. He has really settled into the front man role for us. Great to see Walsh back, and what a finish from Doran's clever lay off. When the MOM thread starts, for me it is Doran, White and Welsh. Back in fourth, with Alloa, Falkirk and Ross County at home to come, we have scope for optimism! Come on Caley Thistle, let's make this a great season!!

Passed it yesterday, new sign up featuring the 25th anniversary logo. No mention of Tulloch.

He did, but sadly got sent off for a bad tackle after failing to control the ball. Happily the winner in the Irn Bru cup final last year exorcised that ghost for him.

Take great result today. Queens have been on a bad run, but we needed to get the job done, and we did it well. I'm really looking forward to Friday evening. Our formation currently seems to be working well, and County are a few players short too. Time to show them (again) that we are the best team in the Highlands! I really hope we get a great home support. Come on guys!!

Have a look at the player rater on the BBC website. Doran justifiably the MOM, but United fans must have voted low for Coll...... Great he had the last laugh!!

All deserve 5, but my pick: Doran Trafford Chalmers

We really deserved that. A great team effort. I must admit I was worried when I saw Trafford was starting, but what a performance. Equally when I saw the formation with Chalmers wide right, I was wondering what we were playing at, but a stroke of genius from Robbo. What a goal and if he had not hit the ball so sweetly, his second effort would surely have gone in too. Doran was immense. White has been growing on me, and is clearly far more confident than earlier in the season. Polworth and Welsh also had great games in the middle. The defence was solid, and must have had one of their easiest afternoons for a long time. As for the "penalty" and the "offside", justice was done! Roll on a day out at Hampden!

It's the tv for me today, but will be with all the travelling fans in spirit. Have a great day out, and hopefully we can all celebrate at full time!

McDonald played a big part in our equaliser with a positive run before playing it on to a Polworth, who's sublime pass set White up. Even the dismally short BBC highlights commentary picked up on Polworgh's vision to make the chance. What a night!!

Based on the radio and on line highlights: White Polworth (what a pass for the second) Ridgers

It was the radio coverage for me in a hotel in London, but I suspect the whole floor heard me at the equaliser and winning penalty! Gutted to miss it, but the highlights confirmed what I thought: We deservedly won. Sounds like the crowd were great too! Hopefully it is a catalyst for a good run.

If we win the replay, the United game is on the Sunday afternoon and on tv.

Donaldson and Welsh on the bench: not fully fit? Polworth not in squad: injured? Rooney, Trafford and McCauley all starting. The midfield is going to be key!
